TPW TV MENTORED HUNTS:  Escape…explore… 
enjoy. We’ll explain next on Passport to Texas.

This is Passport to Texas

During fall hunting season we join with friends 
and family in the field. Skill and luck ensure 
that we bring home quality protein for the 
table. But not everyone has someone to teach 
them, which is why TPW offers mentored 
hunting programs.

07— We have lots of youth hunting programs around the 
state. But there just aren't many opportunities for adults.

Until now, says Justin Dreibelbis, who oversees 
private lands and public hunting at TPW.

10— So this is an opportunity for them to come out, take 
part in a hunt, learn from experienced hunters and be able 
to take those skills back to their friends and families so they 
can go hunting.

In an upcoming segment of the TPW TV series we 
follow a group of adult-onset hunters, including 
first-time hunter Kristen Rodgers. 

18— It was great; unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a deer 
on my side but had an amazing mentor. It was quite an 
experience. It was something if anybody else out there 
really wanted to do, I would highly recommend it. It took 
the scary away from hunting, and for me it kind of gave me 
that knowledge to make me a little more comfortable I 
guess.

The mentored hunt segment is on the TPW TV 
series the week of September 8 on PBS.
